La Raza delivers plan to president
Group wants to honor Latino achievements
By Philip Dunn
Staff Writer
Campus Latino-Chicano activist group, La Raza political action committee, announced Wednesday its proposal to rename E.F. Hutton Park and paint a mural on the Annenberg School for Communications.
In reference to hopes for a park commemorating union organizer and civil rights leader Cesar Chavez and a mural celebrating Latino-Chicano achievements, La Raza PAC's president, Juan Whyte, said, "the university prides itself on diversity. Let's make it real."
Whyte and several others of the 10-member La Raza PAC delivered their proposal to university President Steven Sample's office after a noon announcement and press conference on the steps of Bovard Auditorium.
La Raza PAC, a representative
from the Student Senate and numerous other campus organizations voiced their support of the resolution before 50 to 60 students, mostly Latino, and a news crew from Channel 52, a local Latino television station.
Since USC is in the heart of the largest Latino population in the country, "We feel that USC has an immediate responsibility to this community," Whyte said.
He said La Raza PAC seeks to legitimize and celebrate the Latino heritage in a city largely populated by Latinos and on a campus that seems to ignore that.
"A lot of people here are not realistic about where they are," said Marcelina Pedreza, a USC student and La Raza PAC member.
Representatives from El Centro Chicano, the USC Student Senate, the Asian American Student Assembly and the Trojan Gavel public speaking club offered varying degrees of support.
The Student Senate spoke in

Last year’s problems persist as two fires started in Webb
By Kim Smith
Staff Writer
Last year's Webb Tower fire woes were rekindled Tuesday night when two fires were set on separate floors of the building.
The fires are reminiscent of last year's 15 incidents in Webb and Fluor Towers and have resident advisors concerned that the cycle is being repeated.
The first fire occurred at 11:12 a.m., when a pile of newspapers was set on fire on the seventh floor. A student spotted the fire and stomped it out before calling security, said Brian Humphrey, a
spokesman for the Los Angeles City Fire Department.
Security notified the fire department, who remained on the scene for 10 minutes, Humphrey said. The fire was being classified as incendiary, or deliberately set. No smoke detectors were set off and property damage was estimated at $25.
The second fire occurred at 10:24 p.m. in a first-floor laundry room. A pile of papers and a sock were found burning in a washing machine, Humphrey said. The floor's automatic alarms were set off and the fire department sent two trucks to the scene. The
fire caused an estimated $10 of damage and is classified as suspicious, Humphrey said.
Kim Campbell, the area coordinator for North Complex and a resident of Webb Tower, said she discovered and extinguished the second fire in her first-floor laundry room.
"It probably only burned for a minute or two, only enough to set off the fire alarm," Campbell said.
Only the first floor was evacuated during the second fire, she said.

Yesterday marked the occasion for the official grand opening of Wolfgang Puck's California Pizza.
Although the restaurant had opened for business this past summer, Doug Pendleton, director of USC Dining Services, said this event was to celebrate the true opening of the establishment, since it had proved a
success in terms of sales and student response.
Administrators responsible for the alliance between Puck and USC, members of the Student Senate and Puck himself were present at a private reception held at 4 p.m. in Upstairs Commons.
Austrian-born Puck, who acquired his love for cooking while a youth at his mother's side, humorously attributes his
unique culinary style to the idea that, "Cooking is like making love — you've got to keep it interesting."
Aside from the exotic toppings that are available, his pizzas have no tomato sauce. An original pesto replaces it, said Selwyn Joffe, CEO for Wolfgang Puck's Food Co. Joffe also mentioned a non-cheese pizza was in the planning stages.

News designer sees computer technology in future papers
By Scott Arenson
Staff Writer
Before a crowd of journalists, media executives, professors and students, Roger Fidler, director of Knight-Ridder Information Design Laboratory, said people may one day be readin] newspapers made of digital ini and silicon paper.
He delivered his Tuesday night presentation to approximately 100 people in the Seeley G. Mudd building as part of the School of Journalism's annual Otis Chandler lecture series.
Fidler hailed computers and digital technology as the future of information age publishing, a future that the newspaper industry will have to adapt to for its survival.
If the industry is able to change to computerized formats, Fidler said he could picture the newspaper industry emerging "stronger than ever in the next century."
Fidler foresees people using portable tablets or fiat panel dis-that blend the best attri-
butes of both paper and video to get daily news and information.
The digital tablet will be the "virtual porch of tomorrow," he said.
Prototype digital tablets could be completed within 1 1/2 years, Fidler said.
